Good afternoon from Southern England

[LittleDavy (imported)]

Hello everybody,

I've just signed up to this discussion board and after browsing through it a bit I thought I would take the time to introduce myself - it seems the only polite thing to do!

I'm a reasonably charismatic if somewhat outspoken 30-something Englishman from Winchester in Southern England and, after starting the whole adult thing as an Oxford academic, I am now a reasonably successful wine and food writer. I take these things rather seriously, and my readers tell me they enjoy my passionate enthusiasm particularly when I am hurling florid invective at things I dislike. The freelance writer lifestyle is better than that of being an academic, but sadly the pay is even worse!

However, when I get up from the word processor for the day all of that seriousness just seems to be a bit... well... serious. I like to have fun in a joyful, uninhibited way and I feel deeply in touch with my inner child. Indeed, when I'm at home I generally wear childish clothes and, even though he doesn't come out of my bag, I carry my large, cuddly teddy bear around with me everywhere.

As I feel quite in touch with this childish side I don't like to have sexual feelings. I have always found sex to be more perturbing than enjoyable. I also don't like the fact that I have a pendulous set of rather hairy testicles (well, they're shaved these days) that seem voluminous enough to carry my shopping home in. Sex and massive rude bits are not very childish things and they don't suit my self image.

I've been talking cyproterone to chemically castrate myself for over a year (with a couple of gaps when vacancy has resulted in me forgetting to keep stock) and I am saving up to get those dangling rude bits removed. I feel that would make me a lot happier without impacting on my professional and public life. Indeed, since taking the cyproterone I have found myself to be a lot more calm and generally find it easier to relax and cuddle my teddy bear.

I also find it a lot easier to cuddle my partner and be affectionate without getting worked up about things that only make me anxious. My partner supports me fully in my desires to be both chemically and surgically castrated, and assures me when I worry that I am not being inadequate or unsatisfying in that I don't want to be (and am not) a god in the bedroom.

And that's me. I hope I will have some fun here and think of the odd joke to make you all chortle.

Anon,

Davy.

Welcome mate....

Don't worry a lot of us here are in the same boat. if you need any thing remember all you need to do is ask

[devi (imported)]

Welcome aboard. We're all a bit luny here. And whereas I'm not too much into fine wines however I do understand some. One day my neighbor offered me some fine chokecherry wine and I knew who made it and I knew that although this batch wasn't of the best it had to be good but I just HAD to refuse it. It was just something disgusting about drinking a fine wine from a cheap plastic cup as if it were a cheap red (I don't even do that) in a place with trash strewn all around sharing it from a drunk. What a waste.

Glad to have you on here. Will be looking forward to seeing more comments.

Thank you all for welcoming me, it's nice to be here.

devi, I'm afraid I've no knowledge of chokecherry wine, but I suspect I'm not missing out on anything really beezer If you are ever in Winchester do let me know and I'll pop some Brunello, which is quite cherry-ish, and I can promise decent glasses. I might even clean the glasses...

Don't worry, I'm not going to rant and rave semi-coherently about wine arcana as I am liable to do on my own website, I'm coming here for light relief. And, no, not a dirty kind of relief...

Cheers,

Davy.

Anyone who isn't just coming here for dirty relief, I can welcome with wide open arms. This site needs more people who're thinking with the right head frankly. Oh and avoid the chatrooms, 95% of people in there are definately thinking with the other head.

[LittleDavy (imported)]

Thanks for the warning, punkypink. Some people might not agree I'm thinking with the right head about all of this, but bums to them. I'm a considerate and intelligent chap, I think things through and discuss them with my partner, and I'm not going to do anything that'll get me in trouble. For me, what I am doing and planning to do is the right thing, and as such will only make my life, and therefore the lives of people who I'm close to, better.

Was that self-righteous enough? Given my absence of hormones I'm definitely not after cheap thrills and I'm very happy to be very serious about this with others who also are.

Look after yourself, pp:)

Hi from the middle bit of England and welcome. I have only been on this site for around 4 months and the people here are great everyone understands everyone else.

Have you seen a Gp yet? If not then dont wait till you know what you want to do next. I lost mine 6 weeks ago the safe way in hospital but to get to that point I had to inject them, not so safe.

I love the fact their gone, i'm verry happy.

Good luck and we will speak soon.

Chokecherries grow wild and and are piquant kind of like maybe a few members here. They are also super rich in vitamin C and anti-oxidants. In the old days they along with chili peppers were important for fighting off scurvy. But more importantly they make a really tasty home made white wine / meade with a slight blush and which goes very well with vennison.

I could use a bordello about now.

That is so so so much better than all the people who are her for the online equivalent of a suck and f**k. ^^

Your body is your own, it is up to you and you alone what you wish done to it. That you've quite clearly done a lot of thinking about the motivation behind the decision is a bonus. =)
